Every weekend in the fall, thousands of high school football teams line up and take their shot at prep glory. The Sunday morning Prep Tracker is your final stop for the names, numbers and scores that mattered to Ohio State's recruiting efforts.
RAIDERS, BOSA-LED DEFENSE END 41 GAME WIN STREAK IN SOUTH FLORIDA
2012 was the last time Booker T. Washington's football team experienced the bitterness of defeat. Friday night Nick Bosa and his St. Thomas Aquinas teammates dismantled the Tornadoes 35-3 on ESPN. Bosa did not record a sack, but his presence was felt in Booker T. Washington's backfield.
Walter Villa of USA Today High School Sports was impressed with Nick Bosa:
On BTW’s first offensive play, Bosa did his best J.J. Watt impersonation, shedding his blocker and crashing into a helpless Tornadoes running back, handing him a 3-yard loss and likely a few bruises in the process.
[...]
For BTW, it was a sign that even if its spirit was willing, the Tornadoes simply didn’t have anyone big enough, strong enough or quick enough to stay in front of the 6-4, 265-pound Bosa.
“To have a guy like Bosa – just looking at him you are afraid,” said Aquinas quarterback Jake Allen, a Florida recruit. “But once you start playing against him, you are even more afraid.”
Bosa also found time to throw a little Buckeye shade on Jake Allen's Gator chomp:

MACK INJURED IN LOSS
Austin Mack Suffered a concussion in the first half of a 27-55 loss to Snider (Ft. Wayne, IN). Mack received the injury while blocking on a running play. He was able to walk off of the field, but I would expect Mack to miss this week's game against Wayne and his best friend, Michigan State defensive end commitment and Lima, Ohio native Auston Robertson.
Led by wide receivers Mac Hippenhammer and Malik Bramley, Snider's offense was just too much for Luers, playing without their best defensive lineman and a couple of starting linebackers, coupled with the loss of Mack.
From FortWayne.com:
Hippenhammer is going to be a Division I football player, plain and simple. The junior has moves on moves with quick getaway speed and soft hands. He finished with 102 yards on six catches and is a home run waiting to happen every time he touches the ball.
Bramley is a mix of the two with some burst. His 53-yard touchdown reception on play action early in the second quarter showed that as he fought off physical coverage near the line of scrimmage before running away from the defender to get open.
Mack finished with 30 yards rushing (7.5 ypc) and 12 yards receiving before he was injured.
HAUSMANN, MOELLER ESCAPE AGAINST INDIANAPOLIS CATHEDRAL
Jake Hausmann caught two passes for 21 yards as Moeller continued its winning ways in the Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown. Moeller won its eighth straight contest in the Skyline Showdown after Indianapolis Cathedral was unable to convert a two-point conversion late in the game.
Unfortunately for the Crusaders, the game came at a price: their starting quarterback, Pitt commit Thomas MacVittie, injured his knee midway through the game and will likely miss a handful of weeks recovering.
"That's how it goes," Hausmann told 11W about the concept of "next man up.' "Our next guy, Evan Ernst is a junior and he filled in pretty nice last night."
From Cincinnati.com:
"Our kids – they persevered," Moeller coach John Rodenberg said. "We hung in there. It wasn't pretty. My goodness – we played against a lot of experience (Cathedral has 17 returning starters). I thought we grew up pretty good tonight."
Moeller, ranked No. 1 in The Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, made its 17th appearance in the Showdown and improved to 14-3 overall.
BINJIMEN VICTOR WEARS OHIO STATE GLOVES IN VICTORY
Coconut Creek (FL) and Binjimen Victor defeated Marist (GA) 14-21 to win the Chick-fil-A Battle of the Borders in Atlanta. Perhaps a good sign for Ohio State fans is the attire 2016 WR target Binjimen Victor was sporting on his hands:
General caution: kids wear gear for the hell of it. Still, good to see and hopefully promising in Victor's case. http://t.co/rfoaPZnzaG

Victor put those hands, and those gloves, to good use.
